Now this I made sort of for laughs but more as a test run to a full size saw this was dubbed the Smurf saw by someone on another board LOL Used a coping saw blade for it and it actually works pretty well make a good kinda PSK type of saw

you dropped some wedges on the floor, in case you've been looking for them.

Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? One should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved.

Made this mini mask for my mini axe over the weekend. The poll area is open but all the corners/edges are covered. It's going to be my bag axe, so I just wanted to cover all the metal to protect whatever else is in the bag.

Well, following Tony's post complaining about pictures, here's my hawk, about 70% of the way finished. I don't have any pictures of the finished hawk on-hand, but I'll post some up later. It started as a Cold Steel Trail Hawk...tootsie-pops and all.

Half Axe

I had the head forged from 5160 steel to my specifications by a guy in Maine about five years ago. Shortly after I received the head, the guy went out of business, citing health problems, and so I have no contact information for him. It's too bad, he did a great job for me. I've included the original design specification in the pictures. I used a small hickory pick-axe handle to make the handle for it. It was a little bit like work using a hand rasp to shape it to fit. I made the bit sheath and belt hanger. Handle OAL is 22 inches.

Half Axe

It's a modest start, I have a long way to go to get to UTC's level . Axes are like money, you can never have enough. I keep coming back to this thread and looking through it, the variety is just awesome! I have to be careful not to drool on my keyboard.

Here is my newest piece to my slowly growing collection from upthcreek nice 2 and a half pound Fulton carving/hewing hatchet really love the way it feels. yeah axes like knives are an addicting thing to get started on LOL it's a good thing in a way I have neither the money right now nor the space for more axes though I keep drooling over some I want from evilbay lol
